Title: Falling Down
Album: Showbiz
Artist: Muse
*This is all my own work*
This song has weird tuning. Or I have weird hearing, because to get it to
sound the same as on the album, you have to tune the guitar down slightly,
about half a note. But it really doesn't matter if you're not playing along
to the cd.
I'm only going to tab out the first verse and the chorus, as I don't think
that it is really necessary to tab out all verses, as they are all pretty
much the same except for a few subtle differences. I doubt that Matt ever
plays it the exact same way twice, and I know that I play it slightly
differently every time. If anything, there is less guitar in subsequent
verses, as the piano takes over a bit. Am I babbling?
Intro/verse
